Use Spark Beeline to connect to an AlwaysOn SQL server

You can use Apache Spark™ Beeline to test AlwaysOn SQL:

Start AlwaysOn SQL.
Start the Beeline shell:
```
dse beeline
```
Connect to the server using the JDBC URI for your server:
```
!connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000
```
Connect to a keyspace and run a query from the Beeline shell:
```
use test;
select * from test;
```
